Apex Gas Mixing System

The Complete Solution for Precision Point-of-Use Gas Mixing

The Apex Gas Mixing System, powered by Veeco’s production-proven Piezocon® Gas Concentration Sensor, allows manufacturers to reduce production costs by purchasing lower-cost, higher-concentration gases, then diluting at the point of use to immediately reduce gas purchase costs by as much as 60 percent. By using Piezocon to measure and control the mixture in real time, manufacturers eliminate the problems associated with constant flow mixers requiring wasted materials and constant scrubbing, furthering the already substantial cost savings. The stable output and precise control of gas concentration allows Apex to drive higher process tool up-time, eliminating the need to re-qualify after every gas cylinder change, reducing—and in some cases fully eliminating—system down-time due to routine cylinder changes. Apex drives real-time control, high precision and reproducibility and lowers cost of ownership for semiconductor manufacturers.
